11. Congressman Robert Wexler (D-Florida)

http://www.truthout.org/GonzalesAgain.shtml

1:43 PM EDT

Congressman Robert Wexler (D-Florida) questioned Gonzales about how David Iglesias, the former US attorney for New Mexico, appeared on the list of fired prosecutors. Wexler engaged in a heated exchange with Gonzales, going through a list of names of various Justice Department officials who were known not to have been responsible for placing Iglesias's name on the so-called list. Gonzales said he accepted responsibility for carrying out the firing, but Wexler said he did not care about Gonzales's accepting responsibility for the dismissals because he was more concerned with who was responsible for selecting Iglesias for termination. Gonzales told Wexler that Iglesias's name "was forwarded to me." Gonzales's former Chief of Staff Kyle Sampson "was in charge of coordinating this effort," Gonzales said. "I have not spoken to Mr. Sampson about this." Wexler responded angrily to what he perceived as Gonzales withholding information from the committee, saying "you won't tell the American people who put Mr. Iglesias on the list to be fired. It's a national secret. You know who put him on the list, but you won't tell us."

15. that was when i first tuned in--he was WONDERFUL. thanks for the answer n/t

[mile18blister]

67. Wexler was bouncing up and down in his seat while Gonzo blathered.

I was afraid would lose it and strangle Gonzo. He was great.

[bobthedrummer]

12. Tammy Baldwin also stated that the USA firings need Congressional investigation, she

did a great job.

Now some Texas Rep. is gushing about being "judgemental"

[karlrschneider]

16. He's calling Gonzo "General"!!????

:wtf:
edit: meant to reply to post 13
:eyes:

[IChing]

13. What the hell is this Texan talking about?

[orleans]

17. he wants a double standard: go ahead and call alberto a liar but

not sanchez

(besides that, i don't get his reference)

[orleans]

54. he wants a double standard: go ahead and call alberto a liar but

not sanchez

(besides that, i don't get his reference)

[WinkyDink]

14. Why WAS there a bug for some and not others?

[KoKo]

20. Skinner said at any given time a third of us are not able to access...

I guess it's a "rolling blockout." :shrug:

[WinkyDink]

22. Ah. Okay, thanks!

[KoKo]

24. Bothers me that Gonzo seems so carefree about his statements.

and confident. Doesn't look like a guy going down...looks like he knows he's secure and his disdain for the Judiciary Committee is disgusting.

[fooj]

35. He isn't going anywhere.

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/10/washington/10gonzales.html?_r=2&hp=&oref=slogin&pagewanted=print&oref=slogin

Just ask Chuck. He is quoted at the bottom of this article as stating that it "really doesn't matter anymore if he stays or goes..."

Lovely.

[bobthedrummer]

21. Don't know, don't believe in coincidence in this case-maybe when the replay is on

we can do better.

[fooj]

18. Didn't Gonzo tell the Senate that he didn't know

recall the phone calls from Domenici? That's NOT what he just told Wexler.

[rodeodance]

19. LOved to see Tammy Baldwin zap it Gonzo (too little time for her)

[WinkyDink]

23. All I know is: Gonzo is slick, and hasn't given one inch to any inquisitor, in any forum.

[A wise Man]

25. Repug. Gohmert up

I'm seeing a war going on. The rethug panel are creating diversion as the dems look dumbfounded.

[flyarm]

26. why did du go down the most important time?????????? this is the first i can post or

see on du..it went down when Wexler was on!!

why every time it is important is DU going down??????????

don't known if i will be able to post again..that is why i am asking here...

fly

[MADem]

32. DU has been buggy all day, before this started.

Maybe it's the heat, maybe the humidity....

[fooj]

38. DU is ALWAYS buggy lately.

It MUST be the weather.

[rodeodance]

71. water bugs are hungry?

[orleans]

don't know why it was down. it went down & up for me and then down again

du is GoInG CrAzY

[rodeodance]

27. some Dem just told Gonzo he should RESIGN!!

[displacedtexan]

29. Adam Schiff?

Cool!

[bobthedrummer]

33. AGAG was shaking, literally.

[fooj]

39. He responded the same way when Wexler questioned him.

[Beaverhausen]

41. Was it? I used to live in his district

nice to know if he grew a pair, so to speak.

[IChing]

30. He worked as an US attorney for 6 years.

[A wise Man]

34. Some rethug told him

virtually to shut the fuck up

[bobthedrummer]

28. Gonzales again asked to resign.

[ljm2002]

31. Wexler helped some...

...but I'm tellin' youse, we're getting the stuffing kicked out of us. I am disheartened.

I hate to say this but: the Republicans are showing us how to be an effective minority. They are sticking to their guns, using procedural methods, whatever it takes to lift up the foundering AGAG. Our side, not so good at it whether we are in the majority or the minority, as today's hearings have amply showed.

And why don't they have a rule that a hearing stay on topic? If they had such a rule and enforced it, 90% of the Republican grandstanding would have been eliminated.

[MADem]

37. Well, I disagree. I think we're doing fine and Gonzo is looking like the

prevaricating horseshitter that he is. The GOP, IMO, is looking like a bunch of whiners. If they aren't waving Clinton's penis about, they're crying about Reno--and I seem to recall they had the clout on the Hill when she was in Gonzo's job...

[A wise Man]

The dems are letting the rethugs

ask, divert and tell the dems to shut up as if they are still in charge. Fuck dems fight back!!!!!!!!

[ShortnFiery]

40. "how to be an effective minority" Bullshit they are merely good NAZIs.

Any rational, free-thinking person can see this smarmy power play.

It's time for "Impeachment for Gonzo!" :applause:

[ljm2002]

76. "Any rational, free thinking person"...

...well, as Adlai Stevenson famously remarked, "Yes, but I need a majority!"

See, it's not whether it all holds together logically. I can see he's a smarmy lying asshole. I can see that the Republicans are engaging in a coordinated effort to deflect the issue and defend the AG. But they are being effective, which is an entirely question from whether they are good guys or not (we already know the answer to that anyway).

[napi21]

36. I really like Adam Sciff! He's a very sharp attorney, and it shows!

I sure could tell he was a very successful USA! I don't live in Ca. so I don't know if I can send him a congrat note, but I was IMPRESSED!

[blogslut]

42. Cannon is acting

like Mr. Gonzo defender super-hero-type guy.

[ShortnFiery]

46. This is how crazy people act right before the men in white take them away.

Gawd, it's entertaining to watch the republicans seemingly de-compensate. These authority worshiping bastards are on their way OUT ... in a big way. :evilgrin:

[fooj]

51. NO I WILL NOT YIELD!

Good for the Congressman from Alabama.

[ShortnFiery]

57. I bet that pissed off the republicans.

:evilgrin:

[IChing]

43. How much time is left? Are we not over the time?

[orleans]

44. FIRE DRILL?? n/t

[fooj]

45. He didn't EVEN ADMIT he knew about Domenici during the Senate Hearings

[IChing]

50. Are there any Democratic Senators that have had concerns on US attorneys

Gonzales.......NO

[bobthedrummer]

47. Chair recognizes Archer Davis from Alabama-bells going off

Davis hones in on Domenici "Is it your practice to sample the opinion of US Senators regarding USA?"

Davis isn't allowing evasion.

[ShortnFiery]

52. Our boys and girls are now kicking some AG butt!

:applause: :thumbsup:

[blogslut]

48. Arthur Davis

is doing it right.

[Gregorian]

49. It's getting OLD. Notice the rise in emotion of Dems.

I hate liars and sneaks.

What is it going to take to break this RACKET!

[bobthedrummer]

53. Davis has asked for a Minnesota U study to be admitted into record

Davis is citing Georgia Thompson case

[WinkyDink]

55. Conyers is letting Gonzo blather. WTH?

[fooj]

59. Quite frankly, Conyers dissappoints me.

Oh wait...Let's COMMEND the AG for his patience...

Fuck! WTF?

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

73. I emailed a friend earlier about this. Conyers is really beginning to worry me.

First, Impeachment off the table and now his shortness with the Dems and deference for Gonzo?

Placing my :tinfoilhat: firmly on, I think someone has something on Conyers.

[loudsue]

75. Conyers must have woken up with a horse's head in his bed.

I can't figure out why else he's tucking his tail between his legs, if that isn't the case.

He also hasn't pushed the issue about "secret" computerized voting machines.

Something has to be up.

:kick::kick::kick:

[Dinger]

77. Yup, I Wouldn't Doubt His Life & Others He knows Have Been threatened (nt)

[blogslut]

56. Davis asking about Georgia Thompson

I dig Mr. Davis.

Poor Al. he can't answer the mean man's real questions without lying.

[ShortnFiery]

63. Good thing Gonzo's wife is not present for this mean old man would make

her cry a la Alito posturing. :P

[WinkyDink]

58. Aaaand C-Span3 goes mute during Davis' query.......

[fooj]

62. Went back up JUST IN TME for Conyers COMMENDING the AG!

Lovely.

[WinkyDink]

60. "May I commend the AG on his endurance on this grueling day?" OMG.

I'd like to test his endurance in Abu Ghraib.

[ShortnFiery]

66. IMO, Conyers is way too nice ... I say figuratively go for the throat and don't let go.

:evilgrin:

[bobbolink]

68. Heh. I'd like to watch *that*!

:applause: Good one!

[bobthedrummer]

61. Recess until after vote

[Vadem]

65. * press conference on C-Span (while the vote is being recorded)

same ole, same ole.

[rodeodance]

69. short recess for House vote-MORE to come "several members" yet to ask

questions per Conyrs

[bobthedrummer]

70. When Wexler was on the bugs hit hard-I hope there is a replay

AGAG also got hammered by Waters, Baldwin, Davis, and Waxman.

They all took it to the White House involvement, the politicization and corruption.

Shiff again asked AGAG to resign.

[bobthedrummer]

72. I've got limited tech, I started this thread when the bugs lessened

so if anyone would start an official thread 8 before the recess is over please do so.

[bobthedrummer]

74. Someone should start thread 8 before the recess is over, the bugs are htting my pc

off and on-and I'm old school

[IChing]

78. Back on!!!

Conyers speaking now.

[bdamomma]

80. come on Conyers, tell him to resign, fuck it, I'm going to call my

reps and senators and tell them they need to be impeached!!!!!!!!!! What BS!!!!!!!!!!!

[MADem]

82. And KICKING ass, too. "Hatch Act may have been violated..."

Now the ranking member is gonna try to ameliorate.

Good luck. This stinks, and even an idiot can smell it.

We'll see what Monica Goodling has to say...will she protect the boss, or will she roll over and tell the truth?

[IChing]

79. Conyers is laying down the law to Alberto.....

Saying he has not been honest with the committee.

[bdamomma]

86. does Gonzo have that smirk????

[DemReadingDU]

81. is this a replay from this morning? or new, after the break?

[MADem]

[IChing]
